What the New Zealand public want and expect from their police in the 21st century: a summary of research conducted in 2006 on behalf of New Zealand Police

The research was designed as an exploratory study to provide a flavour of public feeling about the future of policing. Because of this, it was primarily qualitative research. The value of qualitative research is its ability to identify the range of issues involved, allow an assessment of the intensity with which views and attitudes are held, and give a feeling for language. As such, qualitative research is not intended to be statistically representative of the extent to which views and attitudes are held throughout the wider population. Where possible, however, quantitative elements were incorporated into the overall research. The research produced a wealth of information on what New Zealanders want and expect of their police. This summary report highlights the key findings of the research. To provide context, additional resources have been attached as appendices. These include survey questionnaires, demographic information on the research participants, and discussion prompts used during focus groups. A description of the wider strategic environment which informed the research has also been included.
